Hello, I’m having troubles to show comments of older posts, created before the installation of this new theme. I’ve configured everything correctly I think, but the comment section doesn’t show…

Settings #1: http://s15.postimg.org/ai6vupobf/Cattura_di_schermata_257.png
Settings #2: http://s15.postimg.org/uoadtljyz/Cattura_di_schermata_258.png

Comments correctly enabled in that post and showing with another theme. If I create a new post the comment section works fine.

Hi,

Please check this setting and see if your comments aren’t appearing because they are to old: http://screencast.com/t/Y8jAjk9jCu
Please also try this without any plugins, empty cache/purge files and check for this again.

Thanks

Hello, that was the problem, but this setting on the single article shouldn’t ovverride that option?http://s3.postimg.org/6ecj8ges3/Cattura_di_schermata_260.png

And how can I set things in a way that comments are closed but shown?

Hi,

Using this option: http://screencast.com/t/sXTFSK3YDIE3 you will only get the comment section into your page not the old comments: http://screencast.com/t/udeD778EJh
Try to edit the posts you want to allow/disallow comments on and set this: http://screencast.com/t/IwI07yb67
Only the first options can be overwritten from posts: http://screencast.com/t/jwmk9Gl2OePd
Please let me know!

Thanks

Hello, ok now I understood the situation. The fact is that I tought that I could enable comments for single post, but this doesn’t override the general setting. So, if you say that post older than 14 days have comment closed, then it’s a general setting and you can’t override this.

Anyway, I think that you should edit the theme and made it possible to show old comments also when comments are closed. Or at least, add an option. Do you agree?

Hi,

You can change the number of days and set this option to show posts an year old by setting this to 365 days.
Regarding the second matter please note that we have it on our issue list and we will try to fix this in next theme versions.

Thanks
